SPaIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNAL S . An event has just occurred which will, we imagine, lead to a new election for an Irish county. Viscount Forbes, the eldest son of the Earl of Granard, and one of the representatives in Parliament of the county of Longford, has. 'been declared a lunatic. It appears, from the ee,idence adduced on the inquisition taken before the Commissioners, and from the verdict of the Jury, that the Noble Viscount has been of unsound mired, and totally incapable of transacting business, or managing his affairs, since September, 1835. During the last and the greater part of the preceding sessions, Lord Forbes did not appear in the House of Commons. Now that he is declared unfit to manage his personal affairs, we presume he will forthwith cease to be a trustee of the affairs of the nation. We accord. ingly look forward to the speedy issue of a new .writ for the county of Longford ; though we have heard it asserted that lunacy does not annul an election, and that to give the electors an opportunity, in such an event, of sending a person into Parliament " fit and proper" there to represent them, the lunatic mem ber must procure the Chiltern Hundreds. This strikes us to be a palpable absurdity, inasmuch as the verdict which disqualified the lunatic from managing his private affairs, incapacitates him from managing the affairs of his constituents, and also destroys his power to ask the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds. So that if the verdict of lunacy has not already caused a - vacancy in the representation of Longford, that county must continue to be represented by a lunatic until the dissolution of the present Parliament—pro vided Lord Forbes live until that period I This is so monstrous a view of the question, that we cannot for an instant adopt it. We have looked into the chapter "On the Parliament" in Blackstone, but could not find there any guide for the judg ment on this point, unless as such the note to page 161 be considered. There it is given, as the doctrine of Lord Coke, that " a Parliament man" should possess the following properties : '" First, that he bath no gall ; secondly, that he is in flexible and cannot bow ; and, thirdly, that he is of a most ripe and perfect memory." However, a fee:. days must remove all doubts about this important subject ; and in the mean time the eleetois of Long ford should be organizing their strength, and making the necessary preparations for an election, so as not to be taken by surprise whenever the new writ shall be issued from the Crown-office. The popular party in that county require to act with rapidity as well as firmness. They have a powerful and vigilant foe to contend against. The power of that foe is seri ously weakened by the melancholy affliction that has fallen upon Lord Forbes ; whose defection to the ranks of the Tories, we have reason to believe, contributed in no small measure to those mental annoyances which have produced this unhappy wreck of the No ble Lord's mind. But though weakened, the fanatics and Orangeists in Longford are far from being impo tent. They not only possess a large tract, of the county, but know also how to push the powers of the landlord. Formerly the Bible crusade sent hun dreds of the Longford tenantry into the world ; a ma trimonial alliance, and the political ambition of a parve nu, have since added largely to the motives for persecut ing the Catholic occupiers in that county. Still, though there is much probable, perhaps certain, peril to b er countered, we have no doubt that the friends of civil amid religious liberty in Longford—and they compose full four-fifths of its inhabitants—will, by a bold step, and by union, redeem their county from the disgraceful Orange thraldom in which the extraordinary combination of two patrician houses—up to 1831 most irreconcilably opposed in interests and in politics—has bound it. It is impossible to suppose that the Granard interest will any longer be found in revolting coalition against the rights of the people of Ireland, with the Bosses, Lefroys, Jessops, and the rest of the pharisaical coterie who have for the last few years ha rassed the county of Longford. And deprived of :hat sy.pport—which was great not only in a territorial point of view, but also on account of the hereditary claims which a member of the Forbes' family had upon the good wishes of the Catholics—the Tory interest would be a ineee sound. A second situation will, we suppose, be vacated by the painful event already an nounced. Lord Forbes was also Lord-Lieutenant cf the c...mnty of Longford. His father, Earl Granarl, beiug too old—having, in fact, retired long since into secinded life—some other person fit to discharge the duties must be appointed to the county Lieutenancy. nod the appointment will, of course, fall upon a friend of liberal principles.—Morning Chronicle. It is hinted to use on something like authority, that Lord Palmerson has got himself into another scrape with his Portuguese relations. When the Queen's Government rejected the old commercial treaty with Great Britain, i t d ec l are d t h at we s h ou ld b e in future Tut on the same footing with the most favoured nation. Now it appears that Brazil either has made a treaty with the Parent State, or is about to conclude one, iii which peculiar advantages are to be given to its coin coerce ; and that it is a main condition of the tic , ocia tion, that no European Power shall be placed on the .same footing. England, Must, therefore, be content to play a secondary part in future, and to submit to a ll the insults and indignities that the ungrateful and imbecile Cabinet of Lisbon choose to offer. We arc f 2 lad of it—for perhaps the slothful soul of our non interfering Secretary of State may be roused to deed, of arms, and he may have at last the spirit to ten his ancient ally that the connection is closed altogether, and,,as we suggested in a late article, declare that the political parts of the treaty are terminated, as well as the commercial. It will be a pretty answer to give the heroes of the Coes Sodre, when they call on England to fight their battle for them—a necessity which is likely to occur, if the Carlists continue a forward movement. The three Noble Dukes who divided 90,000/. of British coin among them, as a compensa tion for their having emigrated, may be assured that England has no desire to be the most favoured nation, in the sense only of providing money for their plunder. We will transfer the honour to Brazil, in conjunction with those commercial advantages she has just ex tracted from them.—Morning Post. Those of our readers who have done us the honour to continue the perusal of the columns of the Morning Advertiser during the last four or five years, will rea dily remember that during some twelve or eighteen months of that period, the second great question which divided the opi n i ons of all men of all parties, was " What will the Lords do" upon this or that question, whatever it might be, which at the moment engrossed the national feeling ?— t h e House of Lords being at the time considered an integral part of the lk Constitution, and, not even exempting the question of Catholic emancipation, having evinced an ordinary share of liberality and sympathy with public feeling. Up to that period, in fact, it had done nothing to induce the people to dream either of its destruc tion or its reformation. True, that it was considered by many, and with no small portion of justice, a House of Incurables—a place of refuge for the use less or worn-out Members of the House of Com mons ;--but then it was judiciously and charitably allowed that as there were common workhouses and hospitals throughout the country for those who had been born p aupers, or h a d b ecome suc h through inability or unwillingness to work—so also should there be, for the sake of uniformity, a state refuge for hereditary pauper s , an d i ncapable and indolent l eg i s l ators . The burthen was borne just as the poor rates were borne — as a necessary evil ; and if, as in the case of the great . lazar-houses th roug h out the country, were t h e na t z consumere fruges rebelled against their too easy sup porters in every species of vice, the Lords had kept themselves to themselves, and not attempted to gain a mastery where submission would have better become them, the question, not unfrequently to be debated, even at this time of day, would have been, " What will the Lords do ?" Excessive indulgence, how ever, is no less certain to breed insult and tyranny than the latter arc to produce dissatisfaction and retalia tion. The House of Lords began to think them selves of importance to the country, and in an evil hour determined to erect themselves, not merely into a separate and independent branch of the legis lature, but to assume a correcting and controulling power. In a word, they "grew fat and kicked." They forgot their real position in an overweening fondness for that which they imagined it to be, and instead of THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER l , 1836. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. J. P. LAPORTE'S BANKRUPTCY. A meeting of the creditors under the fiat issued against Mr. Laporte, formerly lessee of the Italian Opera House, was held to-day, for the further proof of debts and the final examination of the bankrupt. The accounts were submitted to the Learned Commis sioner, and the solicitor to the fiat asked the bankrupt whe ther he had invested or held any sums of money in the French funds since the date of the fiat ? He (the solici tor) had considered it necessary to ask this question, in or der to sitisfy the creditors upon the estate upon the point just noticed. _ . . Mr. Laporte had held French stock, but the difficulties is which he had been placed by his theatrical engagements had compelled him to sell out the whole amount of his in vestments before December, 1833. In reply to further questions, the bankrupt had no hesitation whatever in stat ing that since the period he had named be had not invested in or held French stock. The Solicitor to the fiat said, on behalf of the creditors, there was no ground for further postponing the final exa mination of Mr. Laporte, and the bankrupt passed in the usual form. . .„..... It appears by the accounts that the total debts against the estate amount to about 40,0001., and the available assets to 1,300/. The bankrupt lost by his connection with Covent• Garden between 13,0001. and 14,0001., with the Italian Opera in the season of 1833 between 19,0001. and 20,0001, and 7,0001. in the season of 1834. During the day M. Rubi, the prompter, proved for 1601., and M. Ronzani for 2001., on behalf of some members of the German Company. The further proceedings were then adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Yesterday J. T. White, who was on Saturday charged on suspicion of having forged the acceptance of Mr. John Peter Zulueta, ate eminent Spanish merchant, residing in King William- street, for 1001., was brought before Mr. Alderman Kelly for a second examination. Mr. BUSH, the solicitor to the Committee of bankers for protection against forgeries and frauds, attended for the prosecution ; and Mr. MAitoN, the barrister, attended for the prisoner. , Mr. Zulueta, sen., stated that. the prisoner had been a clerk in the house, and had been in the habit of writing the accepting parts of the bills received by the firm ; that a forged bill for 1001., purporting to be drawn by Jacomeo Oneti, of Cadiz, and accepted by witness, and which was paid at Glyn's bank, was, he believed, in the accepting part in the hand-writing of the prisoner, and there were other matters connected with the bill calculated to add to the suspicion created against the prisoner. The case proceeded thus Mr. 6. H. Westall, of the Bank, produced a Bank of England note, No. 337, 20th of June, 1836, for 501., for which he gave, on the 20th of August, fifty sovereigns. The name written on the note was William Melsom, No. 45, Oxford-street. The names of parties receiving change were always required, but the clerks did not always see them written. have'' redress for the embezzlement in a criminal Court. He had a remedy by action. 1 Mr. Alderman BIRCH asked if the bill was due ? The applicant said it would fall due in a few days. The clerk read the clause which applies to this case (7 and 8 Geo. IV., cap. 29, sec. 49), which makes the de fendant guilty of a misdemeanour, and liable to be trans ported for 14 years. The applicant said that he was not aware that he placed himself altogether out of the protection of the Magistrate by neglecting to give an instruction in writing, and he re tired, thanking the Alderman for his attention. This case conveys a caution to persons having bills dis counted worthy their attention. Daniel Forrester, the officer who apprehended the priso ner, inquired at the address, which was a linen-draper's shop, with the name of Forth over it, but the people knew nothing at all about the name on the note. Witness pro duced some papers, which he said he found in a portfolio in the prisoner's lodging. Mr. Mahon asked Mr. Zulueta whether when the pri soner was in the habit of writing the accepting parts of bills, he did not use red ink? Mr. Zulueta—Yes. Mr. Mahon—Were they not invariably written with red ink ? Mr. Zulueta—l believe so. Alderman KELLY—Was such an arrangement made at Glyn's, where the bill was paid ? Mr. Zulueta—No ; there was no arrangement to that effect. Mr. Mahon—Have you known him to write any accep tance in black ink ? Mr. Zulueta—Not that I recollect. Mr. Mahon—Then, you do not know that he did? Mr. Zulueta—l do not. Mr. Mahon—He had been between two and three years in your employment. Was he not in the habit of address ing letters to foreign correspondents on your part ? Mr. Zulueta—He was. Mr. Mahon—Then, he must have known that Mr. Ja coineo Oneti lived at Genoa, and not at Cadiz ? Mr. Zu lueta—No doubt he might have known it. Mr. Mahon—Don't you knew that he copied letters ad dressed to Jacomco Oneti, your correspondent at Genoa ? Mr. Zulueta—l cannot give a positive answer to that. Mr. Mahon—This bill is drawn, as it appears, from Ca diz, with the name of Jacomco Oncti, and yet• you have no such correspondent there. Mr. Zulueta—Certainly, we have not. Mr. Mahon then adverted to the character of the paper on which the bill was drawn, and which was stated to be English paper. Mr. Zulueta, in answer to questions from the Learned Counsel, had seen English paper in Spain often, but did not recollect having used any ; he had a clerk who, in the absence of the prisoner, and after his dismissal, was in the habit of filling up the accepting parts of bills. He had anothei• Clerk, ton, who might, on emergencies, have writ ten to the same effect. Mr. Mahon, in adverting to the peculiarity mentioned by Mr. Bush on the first; examination in the prisoner's mode of writing on the bills, asked whether the prisoner did not write " Glyn and C 0.," as well as " Glyn and Co.'s" on such occasions'? Mr. Zulueta did not recollect a sin gle instance in which the prisoner had written in the former way, or in which any other of his clerks had written in the latter. _ _ Mr. Mahon—Do you think that the writing in the body of this bill is that of a foreigner ? Mr. Zulueta—l can not positively assert that it is not ; but it is not written in the way in which foreigners write. He here pointed out characters which he said were decisive of that fact. Mr. Bush—No Spaniard of education could have written it. Is it not ungrammatical, and unlike what a gentleman of the country would write ? Mr. Zulueta said that there was no doubt of that fact. The prisoner, he added, in his examination by Mr. Mahon, wrote the Spanish language pretty well, but did not speak it fluently. It was wit ness's impression that the hand-writing in the body of the bill was not Spanish. Mr. Bush asked, as the subject of foreign letters had been introduced, whether the prisoner had not been dis charged in consequence of something with reference to these letters? Mr. Zulueta replied in the affirmative. Mr. Mahon—Did he not leave you of his own accord? Mr. Zulueta—No, he was discharged. Mr. P. J. nineta, son to the principal of the firm, was acquainted with the handwriting of the prisoner, and be lieved the accepting part of the bill to be that person's. He had examined a vast number of bills in which the writing of the prisoner appeared, and the peculiarities mentioned by his father were, as far as he recollected, uni formly 'observable in them. Mr. Mahon here handed two papers to the witness, and asked him if he believed they contained the handwriting of the prisoner, to which he replied in the negative.• It is ne cessary to state that his father, upon being asked the same question, answered without hesitation in the affirmative. Alderman KELLY was of opinion that more pointed evi dence should be brought, before he should think himself justified in sending the accused to Newgate. Mr. Bush submitted that there was a case for a jury. Alderman KELLY—I admit that the case is not without suspicion, but I must have evidence more to the point. Mr. Mahon—This evidence would not stand a moment before a jury. Mr. Bush felt it to be his duty to press for the commit ment of the prisoner. Alderman KELLY could not think of sending the young man for trial, and discharged him, upon the promise of his father, who Mr. Bush admitted to be a most respect able man, that he should be forthcoming in the event of any revival of the accusation upon more conclusive testi mony. continuing quietly as they had in almost every in stance previously done, to be a court for the registry of the acts of the People's House, attempted to set themselves in authority over it, and to render it the depository of their acts. The decision was no sooner come to than it was acted upon. Every liberal mea sure sent up by the House of Commons was rejected by them—not upon reason—not upon argument—not upon any just, constitutional, or well-advised ground —but because, on the one hand, it was a liberal moa sure, and, on the other, because it emanated from the House of Commons. Proofs are unnecessary. The history of the last Session tells the tale with unerring accuracy and most eloquent logic. And what arc consequences? Does any sane person now ask, with the expectation of receiving an answer, " What will the Lords do ?" Does any one care one atom what they may or may not do—what they may or may not think? By no means. The question now is, " What shall be done with the " Lords ?"—and that question is re-echoed by so many millions of voices, from one end of the kingdom to the other, that that is not an insurance-office, or any number of insurance-offices, in the kingdom, that would guarantee their existence for twelve months to come. Well and nobly have they earned the doom that awaits them ! Thanks, Lyndhurst, that thou wert once, if thou were not belied, a Republican, for thou hast not failed the cause of the people !—and thanks also, friends of constitutional freedom in Spain ; for in the hour of our need ye have returned tenfold value for all that we bled and suffered in your behalf. The cause of the people is now safe ; if the people be true to themselves. The rotten boroughs have been swept away—the Corporations are in " the tomb of all the Capulets"—the representatives of the people are true to their constituents, as well as eager, for the fray— and what remains but that the people of the United Kingdom .shall say—" Let it be done r —Morning Advertiser. In the line of argument which we took during the progress of the Poor Law Act through the Houses of Legislature, there was no part of it to which we felt more hostile than that by which certain Commissioners were created and invested with an omnipotent and irre sponsible authority, to deal with all matters relating • to the future administration of the new code of Poor Laws. It required no very extended foresight to prophesy that these gentlemen, in carrying their crude and untried theories into execution, would at the same time carry desolation and misery into those abodes where already enough of both existed. The Act, coming as it did from the loud-tongued professors of liberal and charitable sentiments, sanctioned and defended, too, by the individual to whom the great Charity Commission was mainly due, deceived and blinded the community, despite of the warnings that were offered them ; and it was not until the law now in operation was found to be diametrically opposed to the spirit of benevolence and humanity which now so hap pily pervades our institutions, that the hard and grind ing effects of the regulations enforced by the Commis sioners excited the attention and execration of all men. Scarcely does a day pass over without affording some new proof of the inhumanity•and impolicy of the prin ciple adopted by the Commissioners to refuse all out door relief, under all circumstances. Wretches verging on their eightieth and ninetieth years are dragged from the obscure abodes in which they have not lived, but vegetated, upon the parish pittance of half-a-crown a week, and are compelled either to forego their relief or to bee° iie in nates of the work-house. Many of these poor creatures have perished in the face of day ; many more, we fear, have sunk silently to their graves unheard of, In - Titled. Indeed, the proceedings of the Commissioners in this respect remind us strongly of the methcd adopted by Captain Oakum and Doctor Macshane to rid their ship of the sick list. These two worthies are described in one of - Smollet's inimitable novels, as going to work by ordering , all hands, in the hospital to be turned upon deck ; and the result is, that one-half (lie in the attempt to obey the order, and the other half drop off one by one under the novel regimen of making a man with an asthma run up the shrouds, and another in a dropsy dance a hornpipe to the cat o'-nine-tails. The Oakum and Macshane system, as enforced by the SoMerset House authorities, will very soon clear the land of " the lame, the halt, and the blind ;'' but we question whether the saving to the rate payers, by driving these miserable creatures to the bourne whence none return, a few years before the natural termination of their pilgrimage, will compen sate for the utter inhumanity of the proceeding. In dependentiv, however, of this consideration, the Com missioners have exceeded the moral, •if not the legal bounds of their authority ; for although there are no express limitations placed upon their decrees, yet the rights of disabled paupers were reserved to them by an admission of Lord Brougham, who, in his speech on introducing the Bill into the Upper House, said, " There can be no doubt that the aged, or the impotent of labour, be it by age, or by a premature failure of the bodily powers, is entitled to .support, and the community at large is bound to give it him." If, therefore, this claim be (-rood and just, let us ask upon what prin cipleo do the Commissioners justify their refusal to afford it, except upon condition that the person requir ing it consents to become the inmate of the workhouse. How many of these aged paupers arc there who could survive being torn away from the humble shed, where they contentedly wear out lire's evening, and being placed in a common receptacle for poverty, idleness. and idiotcy, from which they are denied egress, and even debarred from attending at a place of worship out of the precincts of the workhouse ? To the workhouse system, as enforced upon the young and able-bodied, who slink to this resource as a means of avoiding honest industry, we confess we have not any repugnance ; but surely it oug-ht not, and must not be enforced indis criminately, after the fashion we have described. Hu manity, justice, and policy alike • condemn it ; and what is of perhaps snore importance, the practical men in most, if not all of the metropolitan parishes, condemn it ; and, moreover, will not submit to its being carried into operation. Meetings are con stantly held in these parishes, for the express purpose of contravening and annulling the Commissioners' or ders in this respect ; and no longer ago than Tuesday evening the parishioners, rate-payers of St. George the Martyr, in Southwark, assembled in a large body, and drew up a memorial to the Home Secretary upon the subject, the sentiments embodied in which do equal credit to their feelings and judgment. We have thrown these few remarks upon paper, more with the view of concentrating the sentiments of the community than of entering at large upon the question at issue. We trust that the Commissioners will see the necessity for relaxing the severity of their proceedings ; if not, we shall recur to the subject more at length at no distant time.—Morning Herald. CORONER'S INQUEST. —Yesterday afternoon a very lengthened inquiry took place at the watch-house of the board of Farringdon Without, Newgate-street, of citizens, to inquire touching the death of Robert Beech, aged 39, late barman at the Rainbow Tavern, in Ne yr-gate-street, whose death was occasioned by injuries received from a man named Robert Storey, a butcher. It appeared that the prisoner was intoxicated at the time, the deceased being perfectly sober ; and that although the deceased immediately appeared stunned by. The deceased blow the serious consequences did not instantly occur. shortly h _deceased was soon after takers with a strong fit, arid thatthat death was occasioned by the blow, but could not speak positively roun.bt to the fact. The Jury, after a long consideration, who was in a verdict of" Manslaughter" against Robert Storey, committed to Newgate. About tw e l ve months since an experiment was tried by a tradesman's son at Hampstead of immuring a toad in a small flower-pot, sunk deep in a garden, to ascertain the fact of that animal's living without food. A few days ago the light of day was allowed to illumine his darksome cell, when the contented inmate hopped out with as much careless indif ference as if he had only retreated there for an evening's repose. The prisoner was re-committed for further trial. POLISHED GRANITE.—We have for some time past been watching the p ro g ress of a machine f or p o li s hi ng granite, worked by a steam-engine, which has been set a-going by our enterprising townsman, Mr. Alexander 11 , 1 4 Donald, stone-cutter. Splendid pedestals, urns, tablets, columns, and chimney-pieces, are to be seen at his work, polished in the most beautiful manner. We understand it had hitherto been believed that the blue-grey granites from the best (parries in this neighbourhood, viz., Rubislaw and Dancing-cairn, w ou l d not receive such a fine polish as the red granite from Peter head, but the operation of Mr. M'Donald's machine has com pletely belied this, as will be seen by the many elegant spe cimens now at his work.—Aberdeen Hcrald. The quantity of iron required for the railroads, for which Acts have been passed during the late Session, amounts to upwards of 220,000 tons. GUILDHALL. Yesterday William Wilson, the driver of Hyron's omni bus from Islington to the Elephant and Castle, attended before Mr. Alderman Birch, to answer the complaint of Mr. Edwin Alderman, of Barbican, for driving furiously, so as to endanger the lives of the passengers on Sunday evening._ The - defendant went at the rate of only six miles an hour, but was sorry he had given offence, and would not do so again. Mr. Alderman BIRCH adjudged him to pay a fine of 51. and ss. costs, or in default to be imprisoned two months. Ths prisoner was committed. A merchant applied for the Magistrate's assistance to recover a bill of exchange for 521. 175., which had been wrongfully obtained and put into circulation. About two months ago, a friend who came into his counting-house, and saw the bill lying on his desk, asked him if he wanted to have that discounted, as he could get it done immediately if it were desirable. He replied he did not want cash just then, but still if his friend could get it done without any di ficulty, he would have it. His friend took it to a third person, who proved to be a man of straw, but who ad vanced Si. en the bill, and then got it discounted, and kept the proceeds. The clerk asked whether the applicant or his friend had, on parting with the bill, given a written instruction to get the bill discounted, and bring the proceeds to him, or if not discounted to return it ? The applicant said no precaution of this kind was thought necessary. - - The clerk said that as the direction of the statute it this respect had not been observed, the applicant could not QUEEN-SQUARE. Henry, William, and Joseph Walters (brothers), and Susan Walters, the mother of the other defendants, were yesterday placed at the bar before E. W. GREGORIE, Esq., the two first charged with committing violent assaults on the police, and the female with attempting the rescue of her sons. In defence, the prisoners complained of ill usage on the part of the constables. The prisoner Henry was fined 51., William and Joseph 50s. each, and the mother discharged. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday Jkfary Saunders, one of the assistant nurses employed at the London Hospital, who has been in cus- tody for the last week on a charge of stealing a 101. note, belonging to the governors of that institution, was brought up for further examination. The case against the prisoner was excessively clear. Some days ago, a 101. note was handed to one of the nurses belonging to the London Hospital by Mrs. Nelson, the matron of that establishment, to pay some small bills in the neighbourhood, and the nurse, by some accident, dropped it before leaving the institution, and though an im mediate search was instituted, it was nowhere to be found. Suspicion subsequently fell upon the prisoner, and she was taken into custody. It was clearly proved, on the last examination, that the prisoner, a few days after the note was missed, had changed it at the shop of a haberdasher in Ratcliffe-highway, where she purchased a silk dress, and other articles, so that the case was clearly established against her. Yesterday Mr. Lang, the solicitor to the Hospital, and all the witnesses, were in attendance, but, previous to their arrival, a County Magistrate, who is also a Governor of the Hospital, attended at the office, and authorised, or rather sent, Davies, one of the officers of the establishment, to the lock-up room to the prisoner, to offer terms of pardon to her, provided she made a full confession of the matter. The prisoner at once admitted having found the note, and concealing it, aster the fact of its having been dropped was known, and also to having changed it, as has been stated, in payment for a silk dress ; and she concluded by saying that on some inquiries being made at the Hospital she threw the change into the Thames. The confession, the latter part of which was not believed by any person who had heard it, having been obtained under a promise of forgiveness, it was found would be a bar to a prosecution, and the examination, therefore, was not gone into in the ordinary way. Mr. COMBES observed that the witnesses would not be required for the present, and therefore they might be dis charged from further attendance. The prisoner was subsequently brought before the ma gistrates, and the instant she entered the felon's dock she dropped down on the floor, apparently as if in a fit, but her fall was so well managed that she was not in the slightest degree hurt, and it was quite apparent to all present that it was a bit of acting, or as Shelswell, one of the officers, who is an excellent judge of these matters, said, " a bit of gam mon." After being taken up she was told that she was re manded for another week. _ It was however finally understood that when next brough up she will be discharged. UNION-HALL. Yesterday several cases of picking pockets at the scene of the late calamitous fire near London-bridge were investi gated before the Magistrates, and amongst them a charge was brought against two lads, who were charged with rob bing a gentleman close to the ruins of Fenning's wharf, of silk pocet-handkerchief. The prisoners were both seen together for some time, one of whom, with great dexterity, tried the pockets of several persons before he succeeded in getting any pro perty, while his companion, who is much taller and stouter made, walked behind, for the purpose of covering the prin cipal delinquent, and concealing him from the view of the different parties of police who were patrolling about, for the protection of the spectators, collected in great numbers about the spot, to witness the devastation occasioned by the conflagration. The charge, as affecting both the prisoners, having been proved by the evidence of two policemen, The MAGISTRATES committed both the prisoners to hard labour for three months. A girl named Finn was charged with inveigling a young female of prepossessing appearance from her home, and then robbing her of her clothes. The complainant went to the late Camberwell Fair, and while walking about, amusing herself with looking at the different shows, the prisoner entered into conversation with her, and ultimately prevailed upon her to leave home, arid come up to town, where, she said, that she would live like a lady. The complainant, being enchanted with the description she had received of a London life went home directly, and having packed up her clothes, left the house without the knowldge of her parents, and came up from Camberwell with her new acquaintance. She was then taken to a house in Mint-street, and remained there for the last five weeks. Upon inquiry the Magistrate was informed that Mint street was the abode of the most depraved of both sexes, and that a worse place could not be selected in town to take a young and inexperienced female to. The complainant, in continuation, said that, having re mained in Mint-street until she could stay no longer, she left the house with her clothes tied up in a bundle, accom panied by the prisoner, and walked about the streets until they were tired. The prisoner at length complained of ex haustion, and said that she should sit down on the 'step of a door to rest, and offered to hold the bundle belonging to the comploinant while the latter walked forward at an easy pace, addin g that she should follow her. The'com plainant having adopted this advice, when she turned round to look for her acquaintance she found that she was gone, and the bundle with her. MAGISTRATE (to complainant)—l suppose you have had quite enough of a lady's life in London, as the woman at bar told you that you were to have ? The complainant's mother, who was very much affected at the foolish vanity of her daughter in being inveigled from home under such circumstances, said that no girl had a more comfortable home, and that she had no earthly reason that she (the mo ther was aware of) to quit it as she did. Evidence having been produced that the prisoner had pledged the articls she had stolen from the complainant under the circumstances we have detailed, the Magistrate inflicted a penalty upon her for illegally pawning, and in default of payment she was committed to Brixton to hard labour for 3 months. THAMES- OFFICE. Yesterday" . Thomas iiakney,a seaman on board the Her cules, a Sydney trader, was brought before Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Broderip, on a charge of feloniously cutting and wounding, with intent to murder, Augustus Coaser, a Por tuguese seaman belonging to the same vessel. The prosecutor, whose head was encased in linen wrap pings, on the 27th of March last, the vessel being then near to Rio, on the coast of Brazil, said he felt a blow on the back of his head, and fell on the deck. He remembered no more till he some time afterwards found some of the crew cutting the hair off his head, and dressing two wounds which he had received, one in his head, and another on his left shoulder. The vessel made Rio the next day, and he was placed in the hospital, where he remained six weeks be fore he was pronounced out of danger, when he continued his voyage bock to Europe. He understood that it was the prisoner who inflicted the wounds, but he did not re member having ever given him any offence. He had lost a small sum of money some time previous, and about three days before the transaction took place, the prisoner asked him if he suspected that he had taken the money, and he re plied that he never thought of suspecting him. John Wood, carpenter on board the Hercules, saw the prisoner take up his (witness's) axe from the combings of the after hatchway, and run towards the deceased. Wit ness called out, and ran towards the spot ; but before he could prevent it, the prisoner struck the prosecutor with the axe in the head and shoulder. The axe was newly ground and weighed six pounds. Witness did not believe that the prisoner was in a sound state of mind when he committed the act. He had not appeared right in his mind since the vessel had been struck by a sea nine days before. James Morley, the master of the Hercules, corroborated the statement of the former witness, and added that the prisoner was frightened on the 12th of March, when the vessel was struck by a sea which washed nine men over board. The prisoner was not in his senses from that time till the unfortunate transaction took place. The prisoner, who appeared to be perfectly sane, had no doubt that the unfortunate affair had taken place, but that he had not the slightest remembrance of it. Mr. BALLANTINE had no discretionary power ; the facts had been proved, and he must commit the prisoner to take his trial. The prisoner was accordingly committed to Newgate on the capital ch large. ORTHOGRAPHY.—In Kin;-street, Seven Dials, a large placard is exhibited in a shop window, on which is written, in large characters—" Bedstids, chores, tables, and all sortes of Furnertire bought hear. the best price givn—ring he botom boll." BO W-STREET. Yesterday a very well dressed man named John Hervey Mitcham, and two others, named David Evans and James Jones, were charged on suspicion of having robbed the house of Mr. Tessier, the landlord of the Craven Head, in Drury-lane, of a 5/. note, 201. in gold, and 101. in silver, and two bills of exchange for the, sums of 10/. and 81. Mr. Tessier deposed that about nine o'clock on Tuesday evening, during his absence from home, his bedroom was broken into, and the monies and securities above named stolen therefrom. Mary Teevan, the daughter of a respectable tradesman, living at 85, Drury-lane, at nine o'clock on Tuesday even ing was standing at her father's door, which is very nearly opposite to the Craven Hend, when she saw the prisoner Mitcham and two men, whom she believed to be the other prisoners, standing in Feathers-court, which adjoins her father's house, and heard the former say to his companions, at the same time pointing towards Mr. Tessier's house, " Go straight up stairs, and no one will say anything to you." The two men upon this went into the Craven Head, Mitcham standing outside. She saw no more of them. Mitcham asked if he might put a few questions to the witness? Mr. MiNsHuLL—Certainly. Mitcham—Pray, Miss Teevan, are you certain that I was one of the persons whom you saw in Feathers-court ? Miss Teevan—Quite certain. Mitcham—Are you sure the gaslight was sufficiently strong to enable you to distinguish the features of any one so as to swear to identity ? Witness—Quite so. Mitcham then asked Mr. Tessier if he did not meet him as nearly as possible at nine o'clock on Tuesday evening, near Fitzroy-square, and whether it was not impossible that he could have been opposite to the Craven Head at nine ? Mr. Tessier said it was half-past eight, and there was plenty of time to reach the Craven Head by nine. He had dealt with the prisoner for tobacco and cigars. 111 r. Bailey, of the Blue Anchor, opposite the Craven Head, deposed to seeing Mitcham lurking about the court at nine o'clock, and that when he saw that he was observed be walked away. Johnson, a policeman, No. 50 F, apprehended the pri soners at the Cock and Magpie public-house, where he found them in familiar conversation. They, however, denied all knowledge of each other. On Mitcham he found 4/. 18s. 11d. ; on Evans 2s. Pd. ; and upon Jones, twopence-halfpenny. The prisoners still denied all knowledge of each other, and were remanded, they saying they knew nothing of the robbery. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday Ebenezer Smith, aged fourteen, was brought from the station-house, charged by police-constable 138 N division, with being drunk, and hiving assaulted him. Yesterday morning at an early hour the complainant was going his rounds through High-street, Islington, when he found the prisoner lyine: down in a state of intoxication sur rounded by a crowd of persons, and on picking him up he acted in a violent manner and kicked the officer, swearing that he would murder him with a large knife which he had in his possession, He was, however, taken to the station house, and on searching him a tremendous clasp knife was found slung round his body with a string, and with which he evidently intended to do mischief, as he was known to be a notorious and violent fellow, who had once made an at tempt to murder his own mother, who prosecuted him for the offence. Mr. LAING asked him how long he had been out of prison ? Prisoner (sullenly)—Only a few days. Mr. LAING-Why do you carry that knife about you ? Prisoner—l deal in fish, and I use it to kill them. He did not deny having been charged by his mother and com mitted to the House of Correction, where he was put upon the mill and to pick oakum. Mr. LAING consulted with Mr. BBNNETT, and ordered the prisoner to pay a fine of ten shillings, and on default of payment, he was committed to the House of Correction. Last night, just before Mr. Laing quitted the bencb, Janzes Townsend, a young man, was placed at the Bar, charged by John Lee, an' elderly man, door-keeper of St. Mark's Church, Clerkenwell, with having decoyed his daugh ter, Franc..s Lee, aged nineteen, under the following mys terious circumstances : It appeared from the statement of the old man, that in July, 1835, the prisoner became acquainted with his daugh ter, to whom he paid his addresses, and was in the habit of walking with her, and accompanying her to church. One Sunday, shortly after they were acquainted, witness saw them on the steps of St. Mark's Church, in conversation, shortly after which he missed them. His (laughter did not return home, and he had not seen her from that day to this, although he had made every inquiry after her, and he knew not what had become of her. -Mr. LAING—Then what you have brought the prisoner here for ? Witness—For decoying her away. I did not meet with him until this day, when I gave him into custody, Mr. LAING—What do you charge him with ? Witness (hesitating)—Why I think he must know what has become of my daughter. Mr. LAING—Do you mean to charge him with her mur der ? Witness made no reply. Mr. LAING—If you cannot make a direct charge against hill► he is discharged. The prisoner left the office, when the father requested Mr. Laing to hear what his daughter, who was present, had to say. Mr. LAING consented, and ordered the prisoner to be brought back. The daughter was then sworn, and stated that her sister had informed, her that she slept with the prisoner one night. Mr. LAING—HOW old was she ? Witness—Nineteen years of age, Sir. Mr. LAING—Then she was old enough to act for her self ; that will not form a charge against him. He asked the prisoner what account he could give of the transaction, or whether he knew where the girl was ? Prisoner—l can declare positively that I know nothing of her. I certainly kept company with her, but I have not seen her ever since July, 1835. I deny having decoyed her away. Mr. LAING—How do you procure your living? Pri soner—l am at present out of a situation, but at the time alluded to I was porter in the dissecting-room of the Lon don University. Mr. LAlNG—There is no charge against you, and you are discharged from this office. The father, who seemed considerably affected, thought the absence of his daughter extraordinary and mysterious. The impression on his mind was that something fatal had happened to her, but he could not charge any person. The parties then quitted the office. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A COMFORTABLE COUPLE.—A thick-set operative, in a flannel jacket, well known in the neighbourhood as a vender of sawdust, presented himself before the Bench, having previously, what is expressively, if not very elegantly termed, " pulled a mug" for the occasion, and requested leave " to ax his Vership about a pint of adwice." Mr. CONANT gave the applicant the required permission, without, however, recognising in the querist one of the re gular weekly visitors of the office, and helpmate to a female who was equally punctual in her attendance to answer the very common offence of having taken a drop too much. I'm Humphrey Vilkins, your Vership, said the applicant wot goes about with my donky, and sarves the nayberwood vith sawdust, and if your Vership vants any vitnesses of my 'spectabilify, I can call twenty customers who'll prove that I'vegota most undesirable character. Mr. CONANT—What is your application? Wilkins— Vy, I've got a hooman for a vife as don't do the right thing by no means ; for though I vorks like a trump all the veek to pervide her a comfortable home—and I naterally expects to find things comfortable—she lays hold of every uniwersal harticle, and spouts it to buy gin. She's got two children wot she starves, and it was o'ny yesterday as she takes the boy's boots off his feet, and his cap off his head, and turned 'em into gin. She's sitch a rum un for liquor that I've known her svaller a sack of sawdust in the arternoon—that is, the price on it ; and though I've threatened to put her in the plenipotentiary at Millbank, if she don't keep sober, she on'y laughs, and says I'm bound to find her in common necessaries, and gin's wery necessary to her. Now, your Vership, I'm a man as never wants a shilling, and can turn my hand to ,any business, or take a tip-top sitivation in any perfession in the vorld, and naterally I takes my half-pint or so ; but here's a hooman w'hill go out in the morning vith a good gown to her back, and vill come home in the after noon as ragged as a bone-cadger. Vot I vonts is that your Vership will advise one how I'm to hact vith sitch a precious handful ? _ _ Mr. CONANT—If she gets drunk and is brought here I will commit her to prison. Wilkins—Prison aint of no use. It must he something worserer. If your vership vill grant me an order to put her in the vorkhouse, I'll pay any compliment the overseers chooses to ax. Mr. CONANT—We have no power to do that, nor would it be proper to allow your request, if we had. The applicant went out of the Office, and having ad journed to an adjacent public-house, he succeeded in drown ing his sorrows so effectually, that he was brought in the evening to this Office, and fined the usual sum for being intoxicated. MA RYLEB ONE. Yesterday a demure-looking woman, named Caroline Scoffen, appeared on a warrant before Messrs. RAWLINSON and HOSKINS, to answer a charge of assault preferred against her by Sarah Smith, a lady of dashing appearance. Mr. RAWLINSON told her she must curb her temper, and fined her 20s. for the assault, ordering her, in addition, to enter into her own recognizance to keep the peace for the next twelve months. FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER• (From tb Court Magazine.) GENERAL CBSERVATION2S ON FASHION AND DnEss.---. That whimsical depot, la Mode, has, hi on e of his tho usand and one caprices, brought autumnal bonnets into favour a full month before the usual time. It is true t hat the reign of drawn bonnets and rice straw hats has been OfficientlY long : for, notwithstanding the backwardness o f the :eatont, they appeared early in April. We may now an nounce though not entirely laid aside, they are comparatively little seen, having given way to silk bonnets and Italian stray hats, which have at least one advantage over the more beau tiful theugh fragile ones of rice straw, that, except Italian e depth of winter, they never appear out of se ason. straw is conseerated entirely to half dress, and sil k bonnets are employed only for neglige. The favourite colours arc pistachio, emerald green, apple green, ecru, and We see several of straw-coloured you de sole, but generally edged with satin of the same colour, with two deep PiPi n g s round the crown, one of satin, the other of you de sole. m oth These bonnets have the brims moderately wide, ant-. - smaller than those adopted in the beginning of the set;sl The favourite trimming for a green bonnet is a bouqto ala jardiniere of heliotropes, or mignionette. Flowers fill' ecru bonnets are either cherry-coloured or ponceau, and fo r grey lilac. those of emerald green the trimming generally co nsists of a large white rose, with the foliage corresponding with the hue of the bonnet. White dresses are so generally worn for the pro mene d f thougli that we see scarcely any others. They offer v :kriety with l, the ‘l . O not novelty. Some are made in the pelisse style , sleeves and front of the shirt trimmed with ribbon, bu t c u s , robe form is more generally adopted. Pelerines ha:7°,_„k appeared ; their place is supplied either by scarfs of b ,t -you de soie, trimmed with broad black lace, which, n' , withstanding the warmth of the weather, are still veil fashionable. White muslin peignoirs are the only ones in favour fcl the breakfast table ; they are trimmed down the fronts round the skirt with a narrow frill of the same ma te he bordered with Valenciennes edging. In some instances tr peignoir is made with a square collar, bordered as just de peignoir ; but more commonly the collar is detached Eros the dress. It is made extremely small, and with e w e which cross in front, and are fastened by a brooch. ;,t; also see several robes for neglige of white cambric , 'in"' the corsage made high and plain, and the sleeves extrenicV large, except at the top and bottom, where the fullness 1,5 a arranged in folds close to the arm. The skirt is trimmed with a deep flounce, having a broad hem. The floun ce be either attached to the edge of the skirt, or laid °n it White robes, particularly those of organdy, are by f4r, 'the most numerous in evening dress ; the few silk ones tbab are seen are generally quadrilled in delicate colours. t favourite style of corsage is that with the front a l'eva ntal and the back plain. Tight short sleeves are not so nui ne ; rous as last month ; those that appear to us most in fa v°— are confined on the shoulder, and just above the elbc* with the centre forming a full bouvant. Coiffures en e lle ; veux are most in request in evening dress. We see V lll .l arranged in soft loops at the sides, and a coronet plait t wiste d round the summit of the head. Others, with the fro P n hair also arranged in soft loops, have the hind turned ur in a full cluster of very small bows on the summit of head. There arc also a good many arranged in ring l e t l and a single low bow behind. Flowers are generally, 1 ? ti o , not exclusively, employed to ornament coiffures, some b t et trimmed with velvet, and others with riband. W ile ; flowers are used 'they are generally disposed in two bouq ue l the one inserted in the hair, or the summit of the head , a n , the other placed at the back of it.
